Nearly half of all children in England who need adopting are part of a sibling group. They are forced to wait the longest for a family, while some even have to be split up and adopted separately.
The British Association for Adoption and Fostering (BAAF) describe the shortage of adopters willing to adopt siblings as "completely unacceptable".
As part of National Adoption Week, the charity is encouraging more people to adopt brothers and sisters together to prevent families being separated.
Would you be willing to adopt siblings?
Personally I would adopt siblings, having a younger brother myself I would be heartbroken if we were seperated. I feel that children need their siblings for support especially when they have no parents or family around them.
The bond they would have with each other would be to special too break and cause such distress for them both if separated.
Yes I know there is the financial side to raising two kids especially when they aren't your own, but if something happened to you and your partner would you want your children to be separated when adopted by others? Wouldn't you want them to stay together so that you knew they had one another?
If for some reason I am not able to have children in the future I would definatly want to adopt and if there are siblings that need to be adopted then I would bring them home with me, would you?
